- Build production-ready AI features integrating predictive ML, GenAI, RAG, and LLM-based components.
- Develop backend services and APIs connecting AI models, data sources, and applications.
- Support implementation of AI solutions in customer environments, including predictive and GenAI use cases.
- Assist in technical workshops, demos, and enablement sessions.
- Collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional teams on reusable components and reference architectures.
- Communicate technical work clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- 2–5 years of experience in AI, machine learning, data science, or software engineering roles.
- Strong understanding of predictive ML (feature engineering, training, evaluation, interpretation).
- Experience building and deploying ML or AI applications in production or production-like environments.
- Exposure to GenAI: LLMs, SLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, or agentic systems.
